    Vacuum repair

    Yeah the sad reply is that they won’t repair 110v machines so I guess the vacuum that should have lasted another decade is going to RIP. Thanks for your help!

    Vacuum repair

    My Miele vacuum from the US that I brought with me and sometimes acted up in the US stopped working and to buy a new one here is exorbitant! I wrote to the Miele store that I found online on WhatsApp and when I explained what I needed they never replied. I assume this means they can’t help so...

    So, bagels and cream cheese and pickles available!

    Their bagels are as good as it gets here but I wasn’t a fan of the cream cheese personally. I tried the plain and the chive.

    Legality of repeated Western Union cash pickups?

    Yes, makes sense. I just got another email from them asking for more info which I mostly had provided yesterday. Hopefully this gets cleared up soon!

    Legality of repeated Western Union cash pickups?

    I have a moneygram account and use it to send money to my bank account (which I can only withdraw a very limited amount of pesos from) but unfortunately the three places listed on the moneygram website as cash pickup locations in Gualeguaychú have never even heard of moneygram apparently;)

    Legality of repeated Western Union cash pickups?

    I know I am blocked at the moment because I got a text message and then when I went to pick up money the WU agent got an error code and was not able to allow me to pick up the money my mother had sent me. When I called them I was told I had to wait for them to contact me and was also given an...

    And calling WU customer service in US, they said they see no block which means I have to call Argentine customer service...any advice? Do I just wait it out or call?

    Western Union money transfer

    Hi! I just found out WU blocked my account. Has this happened to anyone? Should I just call? My mom sent me money from the US in person, so it seems strange that they could prevent me from picking it up. This may be because lately she sent me several in a row since in Gualeguaychú...

    Shipping household good to or from Argentina

    Wish I had known about this company last fall but I wholeheartedly agree that it was well worth it to bring our stuff from US to here! It has made the transition much easier on many levels and for us it only took one month to get to Argentina and had it not been for the December holidays we...

    Western Union money transfer

    I started using my passport but then was told by a WU agent that it wasn't accepted and I had to use my DNI, but that was for a cash pickup not a bank transfer. I use my DNI now. I imagine it is different depending on whether you are here as a tourist or a permanent resident...
